Advanced PWM and Dual Fixed Linear Power Controller
General Description
The RT9227A is a 3-in-one power controller
optimized for high-performance microprocessor and
computer
applications.
synchronous buck PWM controller, a linear regulator
and a linear controller as well as monitoring and
protection functions into a 24-pin SOP package. The
PWM controller regulates the microprocessor core
voltage. The linear regulator provides power for the
clock driver circuit and the linear controller regulates
power for the GTL bus.

The RT9227A features an Intel-compatible, TTL 5-bit
programmable DAC that adjusts the core voltage
from 2.1V to 3.5V in 0.1V increments and from 1.3V
to 2.05V in 0.05V steps. The 5-bit DAC has a typical
±
1% tolerance. The linear regulator uses an internal
drive device to provide a fixed 2.5V
±
2.5% output
voltage. The linear controller drives an external N-
channel MOSFET or a low cost NPN bipolar
transistor to provide a fixed 1.5V
±
2.5%.
The RT9227A monitors all the output voltages. A
Power-good signal is issued when the core voltage is
within
±
10% of the DAC setting and the other levels
are above their under-voltage levels. Additional build-
in over-voltage protection for the core output uses
the lower MOSFET to prevent output voltage above
115% of the DAC setting. The PWM over-current
function monitors the output current using the voltage
drop across the upper MOSFET’s R
DS(ON)
, which
eliminates the need for a current sensing resistor.
